bibliotecapleyades |Although people long ago began to wonder
whether the "canals" on Mars were the creation of cosmic engineers, for
some odd reason it
has not occurred to look with the same eyes upon the peculiarities
of the lunar landscape much closer at hand.

And all the arguments
about the possibilities of intelligent life existing on other
celestial bodies have been confined to the idea that other
civilizations must necessarily live on the surface of a planet, and
that the interior as a habitat is out of the question.

Abandoning the traditional paths of "common sense", we have plunged
into what may at first sight seem to be unbridled and irresponsible
fantasy. But the more minutely we go into all the information
gathered by man about the Moon, the more we are convinced that there
is not a single fact to rule out our supposition.

Not only that, but
many things so far considered to be lunar enigmas are explainable in
the light of this new hypothesis.

Their hypothesis relies heavily on the suggestion that large lunar craters,
generally assumed to be formed from meteor impact, are generally too
shallow and have flat or even convex bottoms. They hypothesized that
small meteors are making a cup-shaped depression in the rocky surface of
the moon while the larger meteors are drilling through a rocky layer
and hitting an armoured hull underneath.[15]
